I'm not sure what part numbers coincide with what years. I do know that since you have a 96, you need a 96 cluster.
The compatible years are 92-93, 94-95, and 96. 94-95 has and air bag so its different than 92-93, and 96 is OBDII so it is also different.
The connectors are positioned slightly different on tach and non tach clusters. I think the are both verticle on non tach and one is horizontal on tach clusters. They still plug in though. It should be a plug and play swap.
Here is a tip. So that you don't have to take it all back apart soon, replace all the 194 bulbs and be carefull not to damage the circuit board on the back.
